Overview:
Employees certainly have legal rights, such as the right to be paid a minimum wage, to enjoy equal opportunity in the workplace, and to be free from sexual harassment. Many employees also have contractual rights, such as the right to an employer contribution to a retirement plan, health care, or a certain number of vacation and sick days. But do employees really have moral and ethical rights against their employer that are not specified in the law or in the employment contract? Do employers have duties to their employees other than what is required by law and the employment contract?

Read the following scenario:
Emma and Isabella attend the front office at an urgent care facility. They have worked together for over 5 years and enjoy collaborating on projects. As their manager, you have asked them to work together to create a team training on effective communication in the workplace.
Emma feels that it is important to provide hands-on learning (e.g., role play) while Isabella feels that a lecture is the most appropriate format for this team. Emma defends her point by saying that her sister has been a teacher for 10 years, and she has proven that hands-on learning increases the engagement and likelihood of remembering the training material.
Isabella feels that Emma does not account for her 10 years of experience in the medical office and voices her disgust with Emma and her lack of appreciation for her experience. Isabella storms off and leaves Emma to finish the work.
Emma approaches the manager and complains that she has been left to com
Group A:
1. Gail is the meeting organizer and the group lead on the project. She is very detail oriented as well as focused and communicates ideas clearly and checks for the groups understanding.
2. Larry is the least attentive of the group during group discussion, and less vocal. He is primarily focused on just getting the project completed.
3. Robert is very opinionated and frequently pushes back against others suggestions. He tends to take over conversations and points his finger repeatedly at the group when making a point.
4. Melissa is quiet, shy, and has amazing ideas but looks uncomfortable in a group setting and rarely shares these ideas.

Scenario
Scenario :
You are in charge of a medium-sized hospital. At 2:00 this morning, an 8.2 earthquake struck the city in which your hospital is located.
Throughout the day the hospital experienced a number of successive structural failures that have led to fires, exposed electrical wiring, and other imminent dangers. After several hours of trying to do the best you can for your patients in the deteriorating conditions, it is clear that you will soon need to evacuate. While prioritizing the transfer of patients to other less affected health facilities, you are informed that the roads leading to the hospital have been severely damaged, making it very difficult for ambulances to reach you.
Many of the patients can move under their own power, but quite a few of them cannot be moved in conventional vehicles and must be transported by ambulance. You must decide how much longer you will wait and continue to put yourself and the other doctors and nurses at risk befo
Two Examples
Project Portfolio Management (PPM): In this project scenario, you are to implement this software tool in your organization. This tool is a software tool that helps senior leaders in the organization maximize the business value through the selection, optimization, and oversight of project investments. PPM is the centralized management of the processes, methods, and technologies used by project managers, program managers, and the project management office (PMO) to analyze and manage projects. PPM helps the organization better plan resource capacity. At the project and program level, it helps project and program managers manage time, resources, skills, and budgets and related risks and issues.
Strategic Planning Software: Just like the PPM project, this project is to implement a tool that helps senior leaders with Strategic Planning. The tool helps leaders bring strategy to life, from formulation to execution, across the
The Management Live 3.1 feature in Baldwin et al. (2013) mentions a meta-analysis that was conducted to examine the veracity of the advice of sticking with ones first instinct. A meta-analysis is a study that statistically combines a number of other studies that have been conducted. Because so many studies have been combined, we can arguably be more confident in the robustness of the findings. In other words, it isnt the case that just one study has shown the first instinct advice to be a fallacy. Moreover, the differences shown in the graph are fairly dramatic. When student responses were changed on an exam, 51% of them were changed from wrong to right while only 25% were changed from right to wrong, and another 24% were changed from wrong to wrong. Thinking about this another way, changing an answer is much more likely to help you than to hurt you! For every four times an answer is changed, only one of those results in a lower score (because 51% of changes were to the correct answer,
